Who Might book MLD?
- If you are suffering from Fibromyalgia*, rheumatoid arthritis (RA)**, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) ***, or just find traditional massage too painful
- When you are feeling puffy: Whether it's from a salty dinner, a long trip, or just one of those mornings when you wake up with a puffy face, MLD can help reduce bloating and puffiness.
- After a Workout: Did a strenuous workout, a long-distance race, or that new HIIT class leave you feeling exhausted? MLD can aid in the removal of lactic acid and toxins, which will lessen discomfort and provide some relief for your muscles. This is helpful as soon as possible after the occurrence, before receiving any kind of massage that targets deep muscles.
- During the second and third trimester of Pregnancy: A lot of fluid retention can occur during pregnancy (goodbye, ankles, hello carpel tunnel!). MLD is a mild and safe method to lessen swelling and support your lymphatic system.
- Following Liposuction or Cosmetic treatments: MLD is frequently advised following cosmetic treatments to promote healing, reduce swelling, and ensure everything heals as smoothly as possible. We offer a discount when booking blocks of sessions close together - please email for more details.
- When you're feeling anxious or worn out, and you need a reset button since you can't turn off. By stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, manual lymphatic drainage massage naturally lowers stress and its associated hormones. Since MLD soothes the neurological system, lessens pain, and reestablishes equilibrium, it is incredibly calming.
